A very good mix of the track, with lots of added background elements
(synth and guitar). This radio mix has a harder and harsher sound to
it. An improvement over the album version.

A dance mix, which seems completely inappropriate
for the message of the track. Extra vocals are the only highlight of
the track. Avoid this mix.

A very industrial sounding mix with lots of loud guitar. Features some
more of the marching and vocals bits that are featured in the Schindler
mix.

This track is controversial because it contains clips from a speech
by Hitler. The added marching sounds at the opening of the track adds
quite a bit of power to the track. There are extra drumming and guitar
parts not featured in the album version.

Wow, this is a hugely reworked version of the original track. Lots of
extra synths, strings, and background samples give the track a very
thick and full sound. Recommended for it's slower, deliberate sound.

Very similar to the final album release. However, this version features
different lyrics (e.g. "fucking Nazis"). This version was
banned and not released (except from promo copies of the album).

A single version of the album track. The album version has
a very slight portion of the beginning of Revelations segued into the
end of the track. The single version is completely stand-alone with a
definitive ending.

A heavily edited single version that still works very well. The single
edit is a little punchier and not as easy going as the album version.
The reduced running time and the shorter beginning makes it much more
accessible.

This Roger solo

the differences/similarities between the Queen version and the final Roger

Recorded live at Sheppards's Bush to promote the album and the upcoming
live tour. This version comes across a little more sparce than the album
version. Track ends with a guitar run and a typical big Queen ending.

IA slightly different version with a unique mix and a lyric change. The
ending is longer with some extra keyboards. Not a whole lot different
from the album mix.

Recorded live at Sheppards's Bush and similar to the album version. The
crowd seems to be into this track and you can tell Roger is enjoying performing
it. Recommended.

A re-recording of a Cross track, featuring Yoshiki. This is very different
to the Cross version. Instrumentation and tempo is completely different.
I like the Cross version better, but this is a good version too.

Recorded live at Sheppards's Bush. A very neat live version and slightly
odd to hear Roger singing it. Again, the crowd is into it. Recommended just
for the curiousity of hearing Roger on lead vocals.

Recorded live at Sheppards's Bush. Works very well, possibly because this
was one of Roger's tracks from Innuendo. Nice to hear this one live. The
car sound effects remain and there are some extra keyboard bits.
